Staff who don't have English as their mother-tongue

Many staff working in this sector come originally from outside the UK - often from countries where English is not widely spoken. Our courses will focus on improving the four essential communication skills of speaking, understanding, reading and writing.

Staff who need to ‘brush up’ their writing skills and/or improve their numeracy

Many employees in this sector left school early, maybe without taking any formal qualifications, and lack confidence in their writing skills. Our courses cover the necessary skills to write letters and reports confidently and with accuracy by focusing on basic punctuation, spelling and  grammar.

Many employees (at all levels) have difficulty with their number skills. Our short tailor-made Numeracy courses focus precisely on the needs of the individual within the context of their work roles.

NVQs and other vocational training courses

Staff working towards vocational qualifications such as NVQs often experience difficulties in maintaining their portfolio of work; or they require support with writing their reports or personal journals. Our courses link in with Train to Gain provision and will support the successful completion of these courses.

All our training is on your premises.... at times and days to suit you. Courses are roughly 30 hours in length e.g. one 2.5 hour session per week for 12 weeks (or whatever arragement suits your organisation).

City & Guilds accreditation....All courses lead to accreditation in either ESOL (English Language) or Literacy.

We can work with... Care Assistants, Nurses, Cooks, Cleaners, Supervisors, Porters, Caretakers.......
